Adam Ramsay-Peaty has said expecting a baby with wife Holly Ramsay-Peaty has pushed him to “grow up”.
The Olympic champion swimmer, 31, and the daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, 26, announced they are expecting their first child together last month.
The couple tied the knot in a lavish wedding at Bath Abbey last December.
Ramsay-Peaty is already father to a five-year-old son from a previous relationship with artist Eirianedd Munro.
He told BBC Breakfast: “2026 has already been one of those years. Our wedding was one of the best days of my life.
“Watching Holly walk down the aisle, it’s a view that I’ll never ever forget.
“It’s almost like I’ve got a snapshot in my brain, and the music in the church was just incredible.”
The swimmer, who is set to contest his fourth Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this summer as part of the England team, said of his famous father-in-law: “Having Gordon as my father-in-law is an incredible blessing.
“I’m also expecting a baby little girl. Well, I’m incredibly excited. For me, that role of being a father has been just incredible.
“To have another human in this world that loves and cherishes you, I think it’s the biggest blessing.
“My love for them isn’t going to be judged by a medal, and obviously with Holly going through pregnancy, all I can pray for is her happiness and health, as well as the baby.
“And for me, that does push me even more to, I guess, grow up.”
Ramsay-Peaty is one of Britain’s most successful swimmers and has won six Olympic medals across four Games, including three golds.
He reportedly met his new wife through her sister Tilly when the two took part in BBC dancing programme Strictly Come Dancing in 2021.
